Tips to Beat The Pain
  • Bees are less likely to attack you if you wear white face paint like the Snow Face Paint.
  • Bees are repelled by cigarettes.
  • If a bottle is thrown at you, dive into the water.
  • Escape into the water when the boss shoots bullet bees and fires the tommy gun.
  • Avoid taking damage from the grenades that the bees carry by performing the climbing motion (elude action) at the rocky areas to gain invincibility time.

The Pain Normal Strategy

1 Deal damage with AK-47 or M1911A1.
2 Once the bees attach, use a grenade or M37 to repel them.

The Pain No-Kill Strategy (Stamina Depletion)

1 Aim for headshots to make the boss flinch
2 Then, shoot him repeatedly with the MK22 (quickly press R2 twice to fire continuously) to continue depleting his stamina.
3 If a bottle is thrown at you, swim to another platform.
4 You can interrupt the boss’ throwing and bullet bee attack by landing headshots.
